In a 38-year professional music career, Ricky Skaggs has pretty much seen it all. Now he’s seen just a little more.

Arm in arm with his daughter, Molly, and his son, Luke, the Skaggs were afforded a special treat Saturday, courtesy of L&C Railway and See Lancaster.

The Skaggs family, and their respective bands, Kentucky Thunder and Songs of Water, enjoyed a L&C luxury train ride excursion to the Catawba River and back before performing at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster on Saturday night.

Veterans come in all shapes, sizes, ages and genders. They may be a nurse, doctor, postman, teacher, cab driver, policeman or perhaps the old guy bagging your groceries. One thing is for sure, they were all proud soldiers, sailors, airman and Marines. All doing a job for you, the American citizen.

Nov. 7 was truly a special day at Lancaster County Animal Control. The Humane Society of Lancaster County held an open house to dedicate the new sign it has provided to help folks find the shelter. Lots of families came. As a result, puppies, dogs and cats were adopted to go to good, loving homes instead of being euthanized. Isn’t this the way it is supposed to be?
